LeBron James, the league’s longest tenured player, is engaged in talks with the Los Angeles Lakers for a new contract. According to ESPN, James’ representatives and the Lakers are discussing the structure of a potential deal.

James’ Future with the Lakers

James has spent the past eight seasons with the Lakers and appears focused on getting a deal done with the team. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reported that James’ intention is to play and that the focus is on making a deal with the Lakers. Windhorst believes that the two parties are negotiating and that a deal could be made in the next 14 days.

James is already the league’s longest tenured player and has carried the Lakers to a first-round series win over the Houston Rockets without teammates Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic. While Reaves returned for the conference semifinals, Doncic was unable to recover in time to rejoin the starting lineup.
